ANDREA I pulled my gown up as I tried to run in the direction of the stairs, only for my hands to be dragged backwards harshly, and I found myself staring into Lady Meade’s eyes. She looked so angry at that very moment, and I could only gulp as I tried to stabilise my movements."What’s going on?" I managed.She scoffed in anger. "You have no right to question me, maid," she snapped angrily.I gritted my teeth as I slowly tapped my gown, finally able to stand on the impossible hill that I was wearing. "I’m not a maid anymore, Lady Meade. I’m the Luna of this pack, and you can give me the respect that I deserve."Lady Meade gave me a look as she burst out laughing. I stared at her simply as I willed myself to be patient. All was going to be well, and there was no need to get hyper for nothing, to avoid more trouble. This woman was trouble in block letters, and can equally be as dangerous. She suddenly stopped laughing and made her way towards me. I took a step back, trying hard not t
ANDREA’S POV"You didn’t need to come," I said softly.Nikolai sat at the edge of the bed as he took my hands in his, kneading it softly. "I had to." He looked at his brothers, and said, "We needed to be here for you.""He is right," Lucian added.There was nothing that I could say to that. The doctor came in almost immediately, looking flustered as he bowed to us all. He moved quickly to the bed, and Nikolai rose up for him to move close.The next few minutes was spent prodding my ankle, and then, he tied it with a red hanky, removing it after five minutes. "Please, straighten it," he said softly.I tried to do as the doctor had said, but a scream tore from my lips, leaving me breathless. He calmly placed a hand over the ankle, applying a balm. After it all, I was bandaged."Is she going to be fine?" Raul asked at once.The doctor bowed at him once more. "Second Alpha, I would advice you should not hurt her legs too much. It would be harder for her to take control of her situation if
ANDREA’S POV I felt pure rage seep through my veins, and I just couldn’t believe the nerve of this witch to talk to me this way. I thought she would at least give me some space, but it was looking as though, I was being delusional. "You are the one who should mind the tone of your voice when you’re talking to me," she said softly. I shook my head as I pulled the blanket closer to me in a bid to give myself more warmth. "I don’t need this right now. Please, just leave my room, and don’t come back," I gritted out. She took a step forward, and Lily tried to stop her from coming close, but she shoved her aside as though she weighed nothing as she kept moving closer to my bed. Her eyes were so cold, but I tried not to be frightened by her. I should channel all of that into anger. And, that is what I would have to do. "Stand back! Did you not hear me?" I snapped. She was suddenly in front of my face, and she tried to jerk me towards her. I gasped as I clutched the bedsheet, struggling
ANDREA’S POVNikolai was on one knee, holding a long sword to himself. I had never seen such a thing in my whole life, and I simply looked at it in shock. He was cleaning it with some hard water and another weird substance like he could not get enough of it. It was the craziest thing to see."I was waiting for you at the training centre, but you never came, so I thought it would be nice for me to come over here," I mumbled as I pressed a hand onto my stomach to give me the needed courage.The way all of the drama had cooked up fled at the sight of Nikolai was so shocking. He slapped his hand over his naked chest, and I couldn’t help but stare at the fine hairs on his chest. The man was so beautiful. Damn it! With a sigh, I looked back at the sword which had its tip tilted in my direction. "If I shouldn’t be in here, I would just leave," I said quietly.He looked at me then, resting his hands on the sword. "I was busy cleaning, I didn’t meant to snub you. Please, come inside," he said
NIKOLAII caressed the edge of the Spada Tacita, momentarily lost. Andrea had informed me blankly that I should kiss her. What do I make out of that? Maybe, the heat of the room had messed up with her head, and she didn’t know what she was saying.Of course, we had kissed previously, but I was the one who was always initiating it, and she had shown no sign that she wanted me that much until now, so I really had nothing to think on this matter, and the more I thought about it, the more it made me so confused...Sighing, I calmly lowered my sword in its case. The Spada Tacita which meant the 'silent sword' was the most important tool to me. I had wished to tell Andrea about what it had done in my life when I went to battles or trained, but held myself back. To me, I believed she didn’t want me right now. I mean, she had not gone out of her way to seek me out as a mate, but as her trainer. But, then, she had asked me to kiss her like a storm."Forget I said anything," she said suddenly.
ANDREAClosing the door as quickly as I could, I rested my back on it. Oh, Goddess, how did I get so brazen? My fingers moved lightly to my lips, caressing it a bit. The urge to go back to Nikolai was intense, and I wanted him to keep kissing me till I was breathless. The man really knew how to kiss. A smile touched my face at that thought."Greetings, Luna," a maid greeted softly as she went her way.I gasped in shock. Had she seen me touching my lips and smiling like an idiot? What the hell would she think? I groaned lightly as I made my way out of there, without looking back even once. There was no need to embarrass myself because of such things. In seconds, I was in my room. I looked around at the feminine room, and breathed a sigh of relief that Lily wasn't here. The last thing I wanted was for her to see how much this whole thing affected me. I wouldn't be able to take such things.Quietly, I moved over to the bed, sitting down heavily on it. "I shouldn't have shown him my weak
ANDREA"You don’t need to be afraid," Lucien said as his fingers brushed my cheeks lightly.I blinked as I calmly rose to my feet, taking care not to bump my head on his. This was too much. Why did I have to sleep off now? And, why did he have to look so cute all at once?"I should leave," I said quietly.He settled back on the floor, looking at me questioningly. "Why? Did I do something wrong or something?""No, it’s not you," I said, slightly amazed that he would ask me such a question. Of all of them, he didn’t seem like the type of person who was easily swayed by anything. He was the hard as hell."Then, what is it?" He asked at once.I looked away from him. "It’s nothing," I managed. It was at the same time that my eyes came in contact with the documents and I remembered why I had come to his room in the first place. Taking the document, I pulled it in front of him. "I came because of this.""What’s that?"I shrugged. "I have no idea, but Brody informed me to give it to you. Acco
LUCIENAndrea was like an angel. She probably was. I sighed as I leaned in close to her, softly caressing her face, as I tried to slide her hair away from her face, so she could be more comfortable, only for her eyes to flicker open, and she looked at me in shock."Hey, it’s me," I said softly.She gasped as she sat up on the bed, pulling her hair behind her ears by herself, as she looked down at herself. She noted that she was still in her clothes and a sigh escaped her lips. It was a bit insulting that she thought that it would be some sort of problem if we had done something last night."We didn’t do anything, right?" She asked quietly.I sighed as I lay back on the pillow, placing my hands behind my head for support. "Did you want something to happen?" I teased back.She gasped as she tried to leave the bed, but I was quick, pulling her back against me. Her eyes flickered close for a minute, before she opened it to look at me. She was blushing really hard and it was so enjoyable t
ANDREAIt’s been a week, and I was starting to feel like myself again. There had been apologies and whatnot, but my father-in-law had not been able to do that. Instead, he walked out of the pack and told us not to find him. I still didn’t know what to think about that, but I just hoped with all I had that there would be no more problems for him in the future.Now, I was heading to the dining area to dine with my friend. It felt like the most beautiful thing in the world right now, and I didn’t wish to stop thinking about it."She is here," my friends said the moment I stepped in.Lily, Lucinda, and Amelia giggled behind me, and I rolled my eyes. Despite all of my emotions, it felt good to be able to look at my friends. They complimented my golden gown with their black, red, and silver suits. Raul and Nikolai stretched their hands towards me, and I quickly moved over to them, placing my hands in theirs. It felt so good to be able to do that and be where I was with them, and I didn’t wan
ANDREAI was seated by Lucian’s side, with Nikolai and Raul flanking us as we looked at the elders, who had their heads bowed in submission. This was so weird, and I looked at Lucian for support, and he squeezed my hand in response before facing them once more."I called you all here because you’ve really hurt me. I have been someone who has taken the pack to greater heights all through my years, but what I got when I found out about my mate was that you tried to kill her," Lucian paused for effect.He signalled to his friends, and they placed their hands on my shoulders. "This is the speech you wanted to hear, right? But I won’t give you that," he said firmly.They rose their heads as they looked at the Alpha in shock. I looked at the boys I fell in love with, and it felt like my heart was about to burst with the love I was feeling."We," they said as one. "We are sorry for everything we’ve done in this pack so far," he muttered.The shock and awe were written all over the elders fac
ANDREA'Maybe, we would definitely die here,' Kezav mumbled in panic.I shook my head lightly, hoping that wouldn’t happen. I really hoped that my mates found me quickly. If they were arguing as usual, it would be more difficult to do, so they mustn’t fight, but cooperate with each other.I swallowed hard as the pain in my wrists intensified and my eyes swarm in circles. I was so damn hungry and thirsty, but I didn’t want to eat a thing. I wondered if the elders would serve me poison or something. It would really be a waste. I still wanted to see my mates once more, and tell them how much I loved them, and hoped they would not separate me from themselves.Those thoughts died a natural death as the door suddenly creaked open. The faces of the elders were so hazy, but I knew they were coming towards me."Shut up!" They screamed suddenly.I had not realised that I had been speaking at all. I sighed as I was pulled harshly up, my wrists slowly disintegrated from my own body."Do you reall
RAULI subconsciously placed my hand over my head in a bid to control the pain that I was feeling. Goddess, what the hell was going on with me? I sighed lightly as I slowly slid my eyes open. The whole place was so hazy, and the headaches seemed to triple, like something was after me. "What happened?" I asked in a slurred tone that didn’t seem to belong to me.Licking my sticky lips, I turned around, and the whole place was slowly becoming clearer. It seemed I was in my room. No, that wasn’t a probability; I was indeed here. But wasn’t I...'They are not burning. They are still in their wolf form,' I could hear those bastards cry in panic.I could remember how one of them had taken advantage of my situation and stabbed me. Damn! It must have been a silver blade, because nothing else could have brought me down that fast. But, were my brothers able to subdue the pack too?I honestly hoped so.With a soft sigh, I calmly placed my feet on the floor as I slowly rose from the bed. At first
LADY MEADEI could hear the sounds of people screaming and shouting as I walked out of the pack house, but it didn’t deter me from moving forward. That useless Andrea had almost spoiled all my plans when she intercepted me, but I was smarter than she was with everything that I had, and she was never going to win against me.When I get out of this mess, I will have to find out how I am going to handle her. It was important to put her right in the place she belonged, and I would gladly do all that on a platter. I have had enough of her nonsense.Pulling my hoodie over my head, I moved through the shortcut to the dungeon. As usual, the prisoners were waiting to be released. It never made sense to me why they were so bitter. Well, I wouldn’t be the same as they were. I’m going to fight for myself and my future.That was enough for me to move directly to the guard I had paid. I had no idea that he was also a part of the Blue Moon Pack, but that was okay. He was definitely going to call my
LUCIANRaul hit the ground with a thud, and I swallowed the lump in my throat as I moved towards the battle. There was an unquestionable desire to kill someone who had hurt my brother, but Nikolai was faster, snapping his head out of his body. The bastard lay dismembered.I moved over to Raul, who was now in his human form and was clutching his side in pain. "Are you ok?" I managed as I shifted back. His eyes drooped close, and I could tell that he was in pain for some reason, and that hurt me a whole lot more than I could put into words. My eyes slowly accessed the injury, and I realised that it was a silver dagger that had done the fatal wound. Goddess, this was too much! How could things just shift like this? It was too painful to be real, and I hated that my brother was at the receiving end of it."You would be fine," I mumbled softly.Nikolai suddenly pulled me up, and I realised he had shifted too. "What are you doing? The whole ground is filled with bloody fights, and you keep
LUCIAN“Shift!” I screamed to the soldiers behind me as I went right into the heart of the fight.One of the men came at me and I easily pulled him by the neck before snapping his head out of his body. There were several cries around, and my eyes sought my brothers who were also busy fighting like their lives depended on it. This was a moment that we had to use all we had to get the results that we needed, and I was going to be a part of that win.“Keep fighting brothers!” I snapped through the mind-link as I turned back toward the crowd.I hit whoever was in front of me with my dagger, knowing that it was either I died or they did. The oppositions were also shifting into their wolf form, but I held on to my human form, knowing it was not yet time for me to shift.Where was that bastard?My eyes shifted to red as I tried to seek him out, and I finally found a figure hiding at the bark of a tree. It was him. I growled as I stabbed the idiot who came at me before moving over to him. Alp
ANDREAI felt like I was drowning in something, and I struggled to rise to my feet. But for some reason, I was not able to do any of that. I panted in horror, and before long, my eyes were open. I saw nothing but darkness, and the pain was mildly suffocating. What the hell was going on? I slowly tried to move my hands once more, but it seemed like they were stuck on something. I couldn’t move it, and I had the insane thought that it would get worse with time."Who is there?" I screamed in horror.There was no response. Instead, it seemed like the darkness was sinking into my own skin. No, I couldn’t be afraid of the dark right now. I must find a way to get the hell out of here. I can’t continue this way."Show yourself! I wish to be free right now because you have no idea who you’re dealing with. I’m the Luna of this damn pack, and it will always remain like that till the end of time. The Alphas of the Red Moon Pack would slay you in a second if you didn’t do something about this! I
ANDREAI watched as the boys turned around to look at me. There was worry in their eyes for me. It broke my heart that things had come to this. I had not planned to give so much pain to them, but it had happened anyway. There was definitely nothing that I could have done to stop it. But, right now, it was important to ignore my own pain and focus instead on what was happening in front of me.I took several steps towards them, my fingers curling around my robe as I looked right at them. I promise I will talk to you guys together when this is all over, but... "What’s wrong, Andrea?" Nikolai asked softly.I took a deep breath, my fingers tightening even more around the robe. "I can’t let you go," I blurted out.Raul stepped forward, his eyes soft as he looked at me. "What are you saying, Andrea? The pack needs to be protected, and I just can’t stay back just like that. It’s important to get things done. If anything bad happens to people, I will never be able to forgive myself," he said
